Extending itself as our population does on every side, sending off large drafts to almost all quarters of the globe, who send home produce and stimulate industry here, it would be surprising if our Revenue were permanently to decline. The amount of the Revenue for 1838 is less than that of 1837 by 1,102,6271., but that is owing to the reduction of taxes, several of which contributed to swell the Revenue of 1837, and have not added a penny to that of 1838. On this account we see the Revenue of thefirst quarters of 1837 much more productive than the first quarters of 1838, while the quarter of 1838 just expired yields 364,3821. more than the corresponding quarter of last year. This tells well as a sure indication that the reduction of taxes has enhanced the productive power of the country. The principal increase on the quarter is on the Customs, 339,0154, but the Excise is less by 226,4521. Trade has thriven if the consumption of spirits, beer, &c. has de creased. The Stamps have yielded 45,095/. more this quar ter than the corresponding quarter of last year, but on the whole year they have yielded 76,791/. less. The diminution is owing to a reduction in the rate of taxation ; the increase in the last quarter thews that the same rate of taxation now produces more. The Post-office, in which no important changes have been mado has yielded more,both on the quarter and on the whole year, in 1838 than in 1837, also demonstrat ing that the productive power and traffic of the country are continually on the increase. The Revenue returns last quarter were not Fo satisfactory as the present ; and now that the tide has changed, we hope that it will continue to run towards prosperity. Nothing can mar our fair pros pects but a perseverance in such stiffing Legislation as that of the Corn-laws. A sentence of death has gone forth against the beer shops, said Lord BROUGHAM in the House of Lords ; and if they be the source of all the evil attributed to them it is unaccountable how they had not been condemned and executed long ago. According to one Noble Lord the beer shops caused the fires of 1830. According the another authority they had completely changed the character of the English peasantry. We have beard also that they are the great cause of poach ing ; and as Thom and his mad followers drank beer before their encounter with the military, we are only astonished that that calamitous event is not attributed to the same cause. Beer is the least intoxicating of all liquors, and if it could raise such a blaze in England, we are only astonished that Scotland and Ireland are not burnt up. In these countries something stronger than beer is the common beverage, and shops for the sale of it are much more common than beer-shops in England ; yet no incendiary fires took place there ; poaching is comparatively rare ; and during the excitement of the Reform Bill no disgrace ful scenes occurred like the burning of Bristol and Not tingham Castle. One would therefore conclude that here liquor is dangerous in the inverse proportion of its strength, and that the present race of Englishmen have become so degenerate that they cannot, without imminent danger, be allowed the use of a beverage which Queen ELIZABETH and her ladies drank at breakfast. We have always thought that the evils imputed to these beer-shops were greatly exaggerated, and that impression has not been removed by anything like argument on the subject in the House of Lords. The evil springs from another source— ignorance. The steady, well-behaved Germans drink beer from noon till night ; and if the English had the same education, we know not why they should not do the same with impunity. It is the Schoolmaster rather than the Magistrate that is wanted ; and if more of their Lordships than one were to try their hands at the former profession, and every Clerical Magistrate were compelled to teach, in stead of punishing, the people I._ratis, the succeeding gene ration of Peers would wonder at the folly of their ances tors, in attributing so many crimes to any cause but the right one. We aim much leis at achieving a triumph over the Herald on the subject of tl e Corn-law , , than at convert "' .iFirtni sound opin'ons ; and, t! creforo, we pass wholly Itnyinocd all the rnattcr tei :n its a: tide to-day. which " A:: is irrelevant to the point at issue between us—namely, whether the abolition of the Corn-laws would be beneficial or otherwise to the labourers. We maintain that the abo lition would increase the wages or rewards •f labour—our Contemporary argues that it would have the reverse effect; and, on this account, being the professed partizan of the labourer, hating the capitalist, and indifferent to the inte rest of the landowner, be upholds the Corn-laws. We refer our readers to the article of our Contemporary, which we insert, and shall proceed to controvert, as far as we can make them oat, the principles maintained by the Herald. In reply to the first objecting paragraph, we say, that what the advocates of free trade wish or desire, according to our Contemporary's incorrect representation of their desires, has nothing whatever to do with the effccts of the abolition of the Corn Laws. Our proposition was, and is, that the abolition would give more real wages to the labourer, and it is no answer to that to assert that the free trade philosophers do not desire that. Has the Herald, then, nothing better to say, that it endeavours to mystify its readers, by confounding the effects of the abolition with the motives gratuitously and unjustly attributed to those who seek it ? The assertion in the next paragraph of the Herald is, that the enhancement of the price of corn on the continent would make the continental (manufacturing), labourers labor more in conjunction with machinery, and enhance the intensity of the competition to which the English labourer is exposed. But the continental manu facturer is now in many cases only stimulated to rival us by the dearness of food here, and its cheapness there, and it is our refusal to take food from the Continent which compels its inhabitants to become manufacturers instead of corn growers. Has our Contemporary never heard of the farmers of Prussia and Saxony feeding their sheep with wheat, encouraging the manufacturers there to convert the wool into cloth, because they could not exchange that wheat for our woollens ? The peculiar advantages of Eng land arc on the side of manufactures; those of the continent are comparatively agricultural; and consequently the aboli tion of the Corn-laws would diminish their advantages for manufactures, and give freer scope to their agriculture. The abolition would diminish the intensity of competition as regards our manufacturing labourers (now the majority of our population), and slightly increase it, we admit, as re gards our agricultural labourers. We stated as much yesterday, when we said that our own capitalists would compete less keenly for home-grown food ; but then it is to be remembered that corn is a bulky article, compared to manufactures, and that the expense of transit would make the advantages of the competition be tween our labourers, both manufacturing and agricultural, and those of the Continent, wholly on the side of the former. We assert, therefore, in contradiction to the Herald, that the competition for English agricultural labour, on the side of the capitalists, having at their disposal a large increased su l ply of corn, would not be dimini►hed in the same ratio as their demand for manufacturing labour would he increased. There would be, according to our statement, a lore actual saving, by employing labour move advantageously, which would be shared between the labourers and capitalists ; there would bo also something restored to both those classes, which is now un justly taken frcm them by the landowners and the tithe owners ; and the increased wealth which the capitalist would get from these two sources, would create an increased demand for labour, and imp; ova the condition of our labourers. The Herald assumes, without the least shadow of a rea son for the a.sumption, that to abash the Cora-laws would throw half the agricultural population out of em ployment. We ask, as we have before asked, where in that c:.se is the food which this It illproduces for I 2,000,000 people to be got ? Into the United States, f)od was imported in considerable quantities last Sear. Accord ing to all the reports we have seen or heard, there may be at most some six or seven hundred thousand quarters of corn to spare for our market in all Europe, or about the sixtieth part of our annual consumption ; so that if the abolition of the Corn Laws put out of employment 2 per cent. of the agricultural labourers, that would be the ex tent of its operation. It is something new to us to find the Herald, a great opponent of the New Poor-law because it starves the labourer, contending that our agri cultural labourers are better off than foreign " agricultu ral labourers, uhose pove,rty and degraded habits enable them to undersell the labcurers of more civilized coun tries." Next to the Irish, the mass of whom labour for cur market, and who are the very worst paid labourers in the world, the English agricul tural labourers, particularly of the Southern counties, are amongst the worst paid of any agricultural labourers in Europe. To diminish the demand for their cheap labour by increasing the demand for the labour of our manu facturers, some of whom, such as engineers and spinners, are comparatively well paid, would be, instead of an injury, a great benefit to the agricultural labourers themselves. Another principle stated by the Herald is, that the abo lition of the Corn-laws would destroy the English manu facturers' home market. We beg the Herald and the Post, which has frequently put forth the same doctrine, to explain how that would be brought about ? Home trade like foreign trade is an exchange of commodities. All the Corn which is now in the land will remain, and all the pro duce of next harvest which the agriculturists do not con sume will be offered in exchange to the manufacturers as usual, though the Corn-law be repealed. The only way in which the home markeewould be destroyed for the menu •facturers, would be the cessation of the productions of agri culture. Does any man really believe, notwithstanding the bugaboos of the Herald and the Post, that the productions of agriculture could be reduced two per cent. ? The effect of lowering the price in the first instance would be to stimulate increased production, to make up by quantity for the lessened value. The next effect would be to stimulate ingenuity to produce at a less cost ; and both these effects producing more, with less ex pense, would extend, not diminish, the home market, If there were neither more nor less produced, the quantity to be exchanged would be the same, and unless it can be proved that less would be produced by the agriculturists, it is an idle assertion that, by the abolition of the Corn-laws, the home market would be lessened to the extent of a single farthing to our manufacturers. What would happen were the Corn Laws abolished, and what we believe our Contemporaries mean and dread, would be this :—The quantity produced would be nearly the same—but the landowners and the titheowners would get a much smaller share. There might be a diminished demand for claret, and port, and champagne, and fine silks ; the Opera would be less encouraged ; danseuses and singers would be less magnificently paid ; coaches and chariots might be less splendedly gilt ; race-horses, yachts and hells would be less in demand ; but more machinery would be required by the capitalist, and more tea and fus tians and beer and coarse cottons by all the labouring classes. The home trade would not be diminished one jot in extent, but it would somewhat change its character. The masses would command more comforts ; the plunder ing land owners and tithe owners would be obliged to content themselves with fewer luxuries. We believe we have now answered the principles on which our Contemporary argues --we shall not wrangle about phrases, and still less about words. We must add, that we do not advocate the repeal of the Corn laws on behalf of the capitalists, but on behalf of so ciety at large. The Corn-laws are a great system of robbery, ordained by the Legislature, striking at th e root of honesty, morality and property ; and we are glad to know that they are as much a source of apprehension to the landowner as they are of injury to the public. They are now beginning to excite so much attention as to con vince us, that the day is not remote when they must be abo lished. A single very short harvest will destroy them, arid the unjust landowning Legislators with them, root and branch. We find that attempts are making to prevail upon the Government to drop altogether the Bill for the conveyance of the Mails on Railways. We have not the least fear that such attempts will prove successful. The Go vernment has too much at stake, and has seen too much of the grasping and tyrannical spirit of the London and 13irmioghain Railway Company to be diverted from its wise purpose, by any profession, however fair, of modera t:on on the part of these avaricious monopolists. Their power must be curbed. The evil spirit with which they are posseesed, must be exorcised by a soingent Act cf Parliament, and that too before this present ses sion comes to it close. If this be not done, not only will the commercial interests of the country be placed in' • • • ''4% THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1838. jeopardy, but the convenience of the public in the impor tant matter of travelling, will lie at the mercy of those, who have proved that they are totally unworthy of being entrusted with any discretionary power. This is a responsi bility which the Government will hardly venture to undertake. Let the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then follow out, without flinching, the plan which he has laid down. Let him, instead of narrowing, enlarge it, so as to embrace the interests of those who travel by the Railways, as well as of the Post-office, and we assure him that, although he may incur the abuse of the self-interested monopolist, he will have the feelings and the wishes of the cour.try hear tily on his side. The public are now convincei that some legislative measure is imperatively called for, to restore to them the rights of which they find that they have been deprived by the Railway monopoly. Experience has taught them what they have to expect from the tender mercies of jobbing speculators. The subjoined intelligence from Hanover will be read with feelings of the liveliest interest by all who are in the habit of paying any regard to the political movements of JOHN BULL'S late German yokefellow. We confess we begin to think better of the people of Hanover than we ever did before. Their representatives have nobly dis charged their duty to themselves, their constituents, and their country by the firmness with which they have hitherto successfully resisted the despotic designs of the Royal Grand Master of the Irish Orangemen. The journals represent King ERNEST as driven to court the support of the mobs in every city and town—his capital not excepted— against the legitimate and patriotic influence of an upright and incorruptible magistracy. On his birthday crowds of the poorest artizans were permitted to tender him their con gratulations in person, while a Royal ordinance officially announced that the Magistrates, having dared to contend against the legality of abolishing the Constitution of 1833, were forbidden to appear in the Royal presence. This took place in the capital. From the annexed ex tracts from the German Papers, it is obvious that the some insurrectionary game was played over again by him self and Von SCHELE on the 27th at Osnabruck, but with what mertif)ing results will best appear by a reference to the address of the Elders of the town on that memorable occasion. As his MAJESTY has prorogued the Chambers, preparatory to a dissolution of that refractory body, we re commend himself and Von SCHELE to try the effect of an electioneering canvas all over the kingdom. The Carlton Club can assist his MAJESTY with a brace or two of expe rienced vote purchasers. HANOVER JUNE 2U.—The motion of M. Conrade that the discus sion of the Constitution should be deferred till the first Chamber should have given its assent to the previous resolution of the second Cham ber was brought forward yesterday, and it was resolved to defer the vote till next Tuesday. The motion of Syndic Lang, " that the Go vernment be called on for a positive assurance on the recognition of the principle that a Constitution cannot be formed in a valid manner, ex. cept with the concur. ence of the competent assembly of the Estates,'' ' will bedecided to.day. P.S. In the afternoon.—After the commencement of the sitting, the Chamber learnt that the first Chamber had rujected the motion of M. Comrade as wholly inadmissible. On this Mr. Lang rose and withdrew his abovementic,md motion; he probably had a presentiment that the end was at hand. The new elected Member for Emden had just entered the Chamber to take the oath, when the Secretary read a Royal letter, da'ed o,lsabi tick, the 27th inst., by which the Assembly of the Estates is prorogued sine die. 'I Isis was about 2 o'c!ock. The Mem bers immediately separated, and several of them leave Hanover to-day. Persons who are wed informed have no doubt that the prorogation will soon be folluwesi by a dissolution. CSNAURUCK, JULY 2.3.—The King yesterday admitted to an audience the elders of the town, who presented to him an address to the effect, " That his Majesty would be phased graciously to grant to his faithful subjects the continuance of the Constitution of 1833, that ever memorable gift bestowed on the country by his Majesty King 'William IV." A petition which had above 300 signatures, though it had only been circulated for one day, had led them to this step. The King received them very graciously, took their petition, aid said that the love of his subjects seas the sole principle of his actions. The Magi,trates h ave h a d no audience. To the address of the Burgomaster Stuve, which was conceived in vague expressions on his entering the city, the King answered, " I know that the citizens of Osnabruck are loyal and honest, when they do not suffer themselves to be deceived by fine speeches. They do not yet know me: they must become acquainted with me; they wilt then see the Almighty knows that I speak the truth, that I mean well, and desire to promote the interest of Osnabruck, and of the whole cruntt y." The town of Quackenbruck has sent a deputation to express its attachment to Vie King, and it is said has also presented a petition in favour of the Constitution of Ism The Paris Papers of Wednesday have all been received. Their contents are interesting, particularly the following gratifying communication, extracted from a letter from Toulon, dated the 29th ult. : " Yesterday, at sunset, all the ships in our roads fired a royal salute of twenty.one guns. In the evening the Princess Charlotte was illu. minated, and made a grand display of rockets and ether fireworks. This scorning Admiral Stopford, with a large suite of officers, at tended by Captain Matterer, who is acting Major-General of the Ma rine at Toulon, came to the Arsenal and visited its establishments. After a few hours they were joined by the Maritime Prefect, who, being somewhat better, accompanied them to the ropery constructed by Vauban, and the naval armoury, the artillery depot, the flock. yards, and other objects of interest at the port. At six o'clock the Prefect, the Sub-Prefect, and other officers, with M. Jouve, the English Consul, %tent to dine with the English Admiral on board his flag-ship. At this banquet, which was splendidly got up, everything went off remarkably well, and the greatest cordiality existed between the French and English officers. Numerous naval officers in the British and Danish uniforms were seen parading our streets, but none of the crews of the En g li s h s hip s h ave co me on shore. The wind is blow ing strong from the north west, and the sea runs very high, but the maritime Prefect had arrived safe on board the Princess Charlotte, and was received with a salute of seven guns. It is to be remarked that no English sqnadroh has come into our roadstead since 1793. Admi ral Stopford has consented to remain till the 10th of July, and the fetes prepared for the occasion will take place with great eclat. 10,0001. have already been subscribed for the ball which will be given on the 7th." The happy coincidence between the friendly reception of Marshal SOULT in London and the English fleet in the harbour of Toulon, is dwelt upon with evident delight by all the Liberal French Journals. But no observations made thereon appear to us so forcible and so just as the following brief remarks, extracted from the columns of the Presse : " These twe circumstances are the noblest acts of homage that for the last 20 years hare been paid to the ascendancy of civilization. Between the barren rock of St. Helena and Westminster Abbey, between 1821 and 1838, between Waterloo and Toulon, an age of time has elapsed— a new world of ideas and interests has been created. It is also worthy of remark that this grand revolution which has taken place in the rela tions existing between the two countries has been operated by the people themselves, whose spontaneous inspirations have been merely followed by their respective Governments." The Chamber of Peers was engaged on Tuesday with the reception of reports on Railway and other Bills of local Interest. A letter from Vienna of the 24th ult. states that a strong feeling prevails in Hungary, particularly among the Nobles and great commercial houses, against t h e aggres sive restrictions imposed by Russia upon the navigation of the Danube. Proposals for resisting by force any attempt to restrict Hungary in the free navigation of that river were not only made but openly encouraged. These indi cations of a will, not easily controuled, may drive Prince METTERNICH to draw closer the bonds of the amicable alliance at present uniting Austria, England, and France. Such an union—if cordially rendered available to the great purpose of checking the grasping am bition of Russia —would soon quiet the appre hensions now entertained respecting the ultimate fate of the Ottoman Empire. Austria, single-handed, is no l on ger able to cope with the CZAR. Though one of the clearest sighted Statesmen in Europe, Prince METTERNICH, has found it impossible to out-wit a Power before the talismanic touch of whose gold every lock flies open —every secret i s disclosed. He bad to create a system and to organise a means of conducting it ; whereas his great rival, NEs sE ,_ RODE, found a system which had been organized be fore the accession of CATHERINE ll.,—which had never been allowed to stand still a moment, even during the perpetration of imperial tragedies, —in e ff ective operation ; and from that system he never deviated a hair's-breadth. Tho policy of METTERNICH is essen tially and necessarily pacific and conservative, because the Austrian Empire is composed of large disjointedanmdua.bsosouetishd, ready to fall asunder in a contest with a n a dj oining Power. On the other hand the policy of Ru ss i a i s, from a necessity resulting from the ignorance of her barb arous population, wholly aggressive. Repose would bri ng intelli gweonucled b , oer equallyit would destructiveproduce of endless th e dominionrevolutions established ; by the CZAR. Detestable as is the policy of Russia, i ts very b as i s b e ing injustice,her Statesmen knew and feel that they ha v e no choice but to pursue it. This fact, were it d u l y et Russian E si v an rope, bad .i faith, by put w eighed end by t o t the e idle G o vernments o complaints about f Western by suggesting the prompt adoption of measures which would revert upon herself the bitter consequ ence , of her own crimes. Western Europe may yet, by a word, restore the independent nationality of Poland. Let that word be spoken, and t! e CZAR will find enou g h to de, without me ddli ng e ither with the Egyptian question, or the navigation of the Danube. It will not be more difficult to provide a King for Poland than it was to find Sovereigns or Belgium and Grace—for it can no longer be contended that NICHOLAS has not forfeited all claim to the protecto rate of that country. In the evet;iOl'a war betwcen the Viceroy of EGYPT and the PORTE, the National strongly urges the French Government to declare for the independence of the PACHA. The reasons for this advice, upon which we abstain from offering any comment, are thus summed up in a para graph : " Mehemet Alli has detached at least two magnificent provinces from the tottering monarchy of the Osrnanlis, or rather from the de vouring ambition of the Northern autocrat. Egypt and Syria, in which the Vieetoy and Ibrahim may be said to have merely a life interest, will be exposed to all the perils of anarchy after the death of those two pow erful personages, who will have no political descendants. But will France allow this newly-created empire to be consumed in intestine warfare, or again to fall under the dominion of the Porte, or, in other terms, under the yoke of the Autocrat ? The neighbourhood of Tou lon, the possession of Corsica and Algiers, give to France, with regard to Alexandria and Cairo, advantages nearly equal to those which Russia possesses with respect to Constantinople. France, therefore, ought to watch over Egypt, and the neighbouring regions, as over a succession which Providence and the wishes of mankind may one day adjudge to her civilizing genius."

Brussels and German Papers have been received this morning, from which the following are extracts : HIMBURGTI, JULY 2.—The Russian papers received by the steam boat from Petersburg, say nothing of the departure of the Emperor, who seems not to have left Peterhoff. These papers contain nothing of importance. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexander, who was ex. pected here this evening, will not arrive as we hear before the sth or 6th. BRUSSELS, JULY 3.—The average prices of Wheat and Rye, in the week ending on Saturday, June 30, were—Wheat, '2lf. 26c.; Rye, 12f. 27c. per hectolitre.

VIEMNA, JuNa 26.—His Majesty's letters patent have just been pub lished, announcing that he has been graciously pleased, and, as a testi mony of his especial favour and regard, to signify to the worthy inhabi tants of Tyrol and Voralberg, that he has resolved to receive their homage in person, on the 12th of August this year, at Inspruck, and thereby to afford them a fresh opportunity of confirming the loyalty and fidelity of which they have given such splendid proofs, amidst the storms of the most disastrous tunes, and under the hardest trials.

A Wirtemburg journal contains the following, under date of Tubin gen, June 15 :--" The arrival of H.

The burgher horse-guard proposed to meet and escort him into the town, but the _police forbade any public demonstrations. The day after his arrival the students assembled in front of his hotel, and made the air resound with their acclamations. Yesterday was fixed for the first lec ture of M.

A special general meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held at the City of London Tavern, at one o'clock this day, Mr. Money in the chair. The attendance was very numerous and highly respectable. The CHAIRMAN said he was glad to see so numerous a meeting, although it would have been more gratifying if it had been delayed until the completion of the work, which would shortly take place. Some gentle men, however, were of a different opinion, and presented the requisition in consequence of which the present meeting had been called. If the Directors had been disposed to take any advantage, they might have done so, because the requisi tion was not a legal one. It was desirable before the business proceeded further, that the meeting should hear the requisition read, together with the names of the gentlemen who had signed it, and he therefore called upon the Secretary to read it. The SECRETARY accordingly proceeded to read the requi sition, desiring the Directors to call a meeting, in order to consider the present position of the Company, and if necessary to appoint from among the Proprietors, whether Directors or not, a Committee for the purpose of giving the Directors such instructions as might be expedient, in order that the objects of the Company might be effected as rapidly and beneficially as possible, and to paFs such resolutions as might be deemed desirable to secure the success of the Company. Some opposition was made to the reading of the names, on the ground that it would be a waste of time ; but eventually they were read. The SECRETARY then, at the request of the Chairman, read a report of the present state of the works. The CHAIRMAN thought the report perfectly: satisfac tory, and then called on the Secretary to lay the accounts be fore the Meeting, which he considered equally satisfactory. A SHAREHOLDER enquired if the statement was pre pared for the present Meeting, or if it was the balance in the bank in June ? The CHAIRMAN replied that it had been prepared for the meeting. The — account was then read, which entered considerably into detail. The CHAIRMAN said it appeared from the statement of the accounts and the works together, that, with a small dtbt b hoie a see l c a nofi n sun c hnip e ast , urh. er t ss h ut ey Heiwldi eos believedl• from g o d u r e l h d a at v l t i o a uh venbbedeyeebsrtneuthagffii undertaking. i tnnd e gia n an. y t gp in their iesso.mafodiutymhae hands ias irpnsrsottephaeedr undertaking eocnfot under taking re trs l ae y , would be in a prosperous and lucrative position. Since_ the last meeting he had not pursued any...course that proceeded from any other motive than to pro mote the interests of the Shareholders.—( Hear, bear.) He hoped that all personalities would be avoided—( Hear)—and that the meeting would unite to brinc , to a successful issue this grand work. He would have all the funds in the hands of the bankers. He would have no stock jobbing with this single exception, that if there were any difficulty in disposing of the property of the concern for the benefit of the work, and he should then have no objection to give a small commisson for pro ducing money. Ile would not dispose of a farthing of the Company's money in a way in which he would not dispose of his own.—( Hear.) Now as to the specific mode of carry ing on the work. The work should be carried on by officers who ought to be liberally remunerated, but who ought to do the work.—( Hear.) That the Directors should generally superintend the works, and if they had not been properly done, have the power of dismissing the parties who had not discharged their duty properly.—( Hear, hear.) Had that course been taken, it would have been better for the concern. ( Hear, hear.) If the majority of this meeting were of opinion that the principles which he had laid down were erro neous, he was no longer fit to be their Chairman.—( Hear, hear.) If, however, they should be of a different opinion, he would proceed in this course, so long as he had the honour to fill the offlce.—( Hear, hear.) We shall give the conclusion in our SECOND EDITION • Yesterday a deputation of Licensed Victuallers, from various parts of the country, consisting of Mr. J. Morgan (Chair man) and Mr. C. Ilibble, of the Metropolitan Association ; of Mr. T. Oates, from Manchester; of Mr. R. Bryden and Mr. P. Brenan, from Liverpool; of Mr. W. Hopkin and Mr. F. Bond, from Bristol; of Mr. F. Dalton, from Huddersfield; of Mr. W. Jubh, from Hull; of Mr. E. Hall, from Ashton-under-Line; of Mr. J. Ogden, from Oldham; of Mr. J. Ralph and Mr. T. hunt, from Bath, waited upon the Governor, Trustees, and Committee of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Vic tuallers, e n then t to present, eftuhreth b e of theßeer-shop abolition purpose of requesting their Act. Messrs. Morgan, Ilibble, Brydon, Oates, Bren an, and other gentle men addressed their brethren upon the subject in powe r f u l and impress i ve t a l co-op-ration o s : and p o, r at io n other i n ge endeavouring ntlum t speeches; alter which Mr. Larby ard the Governor of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers replied in the most friendly manner; and resolutions were entered into which we doubt not will terminate in the attainment of the desired object. THE GOLDEN ~ SUN." We differ from The Sun in politics, but we have never been unwilling witnesses of the enterprise of its Proprietor, nor reluctant recorders of its success. The Number issued on the evening of the Coronation, besides ample details of the Procession and of part of the Ceremonial, contains a beautiful Medallion likeness of her Majesty, and presents the reader with a novelty in Newspaper publication—twelve of its columns printed in Gold letters. The execution of the Medallion is exquisite, and the style of the printing is cre ditable to all engaged in it. To enable the Proprietor to accomplish this unrivalled effort of art and industry, re quired, we are told, " the united labour of three large esta blishments, comprising between two and three hundred persons." The result is, the production of a specimen of Newspaper printing such as has, not only never been equalled, but never been attempted, by any other journalist. The demands for the Paper amounted to nearly a quarter of a million !—Cork Advertiser. The proprietors of this spirited Journal, The Sun, have taken the lead of all other newspapers, having beautifully printed in gold two of its pages, containing an account of the Coronation, accompanied by such a medallion of the Queen as we never saw for excellency in a newspaper be fore.—Derby Reporter. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) TLRLETON V. R•RNES.-JUDE•NENT. The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgement in this case, which was argued on a plea filed by the defendant, alleging that another bill in the same matter was pending against him in the Court of Exchequer. His Lordship said the usual course, on such a plea being filed, was for the plaintiff to obtain an order, directing the Master to inquire whether the two suits were in the same matter. If the plaintiff took no such step, the defendant was, after the lapse of one month, entitled to an order to dismiss the bill. On the other hand, if the plaintiff, declining to abideby the usual reference, thought fit to set down the plea for argument, he was at liberty to do so ;. but by so doing he was held to admit the fact that the former suit on the same matter was pending, and the plea was to be allowed, unless it was defective in point of form. In this case the plea was set down by the plaintiff; and the question raised was whe ther the allowance of the plea in the Court of Exchequer (which was referred to in the present plea), put an end to the suit there, or operated as a dismissal of the Bill. His Lordship had made some inquiry with regard to the practice in the Court of Exchequer, and the result was that with some exceptions as to costs, the prac tice of that Court and the Court of Chancery in cases of that nature was substantially alike. On the allowance of such a plea in the Court of Exchequer, the defendant obtained 30s. costs ; but the effect was not to dismiss the bill or to put an end to the suit. If the case were such as that the defect of the plea could not be avoided by amendment of the bill, the allowance of the plea would be an effectual bar to the further progress of the suit; but the bill was not thereby dis missed. To dismiss the Bill and give the defendant the costs of the suit an order must be obtained for the purpose, and that might be on the ap plication of the defendant or of the plaintiff. Unless such order was ob tained, the plaintiff was not at liberty to commence a new suit against the defendant on the same matter. The suit, therefore, after the allow ance of the plea, was still to be considered as a suit depending, and there was no inconsistency in the present plea. There were cases in which when it appeared the progress of the suit, or the further prose cution of the suit, by him for the purpose fur which it was instituted had been effectually barred, it had been said metaphorically that the case was out of Court. This had been said where the single step wanting to dismiss the bill was an order for the purpose. In such cases it appeared to his Lordship, till such an order was obtained, the suit was still pending, and under those circumstances, the present plea must be allowed. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN ' S CHEMISE.—Wehave much plea sure in recommending a visit to the Great Hall of the Andersonlan University, to inspect the workmanship of Mr. David Anderson—a Chemise for the Queen, wrought in the loom without a seam.— Glasgow Chronicle. Yesterday morning a young man, named Richard Swainton, 24 years of age, a tailor, residing in Prince's.street, Lambeth, was bathing in the Thames between Vauxhall and Westminster bridges, when he suddenly disappeared, and did not rise again. It is supposed that he was seized with the cramp. A few days ago, one of a pair of blackbirds, which have nestled in a garden near Dalblair House for some years past, was caught and killed by a cat, the property of a neighbouring cottager. Deep was the grief of its surviving mate--the male, we believe-- which sat moping on a tree close by the fatal spot for several days. " Sweet is revenge," says the poet, and so thought the blackbird, as the issue demonstrates for having discovered baudrons asleep in the sun under the tree on Sabbath last, " the better day, the better deed," he descended like the mountain eagle, and at one peck fairly deprived the feline marauder of one of her eyes.—Ayr Observer. --- • EARLY CROP.—A few stalks of barley, in full ear, were sent to our office yesterday from the farm of Nether Dalnotter, near Erskine Ferry. The field in which they were grown is about two acres in extent, and shows a beautiful crop. It may be worthy of remark, that forty years have not elapsed since the field in question was the site of one of the then few malleable ironworks in Scotland, not a vestige of which now remains, if we except a row of houses on the west side of it, built for the workmen at Dalnotter Forge. Sic transit gloria mundi ! Glasgow Courier. Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a girl about ten years of age, the (laughter of James Gregory, carpenter, residing in George street, Lambeth, in crossing the Westminster-road, was knocked down by a butcher's cart, which was driven at a most furious rate, and the wheel passed over her thighs, one of which was fractured. She was directly taken to a surgeon, who pronounced im mediate amputation to be necessary. Every effort was made to dis. cover to whom the cart belonged, but the rate it was driven at rendered it impossible. TEETOTALISM.—The principles of the Total Ab stinence Society appear to have been making greater pro:;ress in Glasgow of late than seems to be generally supposed. We learn that the en rolled adherents in Glasgow now amount to from 7,000 to 8,000 ; and, judging from the frequency of their meetings, the ardour with which they promote their principles, and the zeal they display in bringing them before the community, are enthusiastic and unremitting.— Glasgow Courier. A cow belonging to Mr. David Jackson, of Routem Syke, in Arlecdon, gave birth to a calf on Tuesday last with two heads and two necks, the union of the necks being close to the Moulder. In all other respects the formation was single. It was nearly full grown, but life was entirely extinct when it was calved. LITERATURE. FOREIGN QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. XLIL Black and Armstrong, London, 1838. There are many interesting articles in this Number, and not the least so, is the essay on the " Religious Literature of Germany," in which we fancy we can detect the pen of Mr. Carlyle. The essay in question is a notice of Jui g Stilling's theological speculations, and gives the Reviewer an opportunity of discussing the state of religious feeling at present existing in Germany, and of introducing mar y subtle, metaphysical remarks of his own. " Queen Hor tense," is a review of a flimsy, gossiping book, that has lately come out in Paris, professing to be a Memoir of Jo sephine's royal Daughter, and to give authentic anecdotes of the different branches of the Imperial family of Napo leon. The review of this book contains but little origi nal observation, and is chiefly remarkable for the number, variety, and amusing character of the extracts with which it furnishes us. The following may serve as a specimen :—" At the time of the marriage of the Emperor Jerome with the Princess of Wirtemberg, Kings stoad waiting in the anti-chambers of the Tuileries, which caused M. de Montesquiou to say to the Emperor, when the latter reproached him, generally so punctual, for being ten minutes behind his time, What was Ito do, Sire ? In crossing the apartment 1 was stopped by a crowd of Kings, who all asked after your Majesty's health.'" Queen Hortense, who, it may be remembered, was Napoleon's daughter-in-law, and possessed a great share of his confidence, is, we believe, still living ; by all accounts she is an amiable lady, exemplary in all the relations of life, and is the only remaining child of the once celebrated Josephine. Her character is exhibileJ to great advantage in the passages which the Reviewer has selected for extract. " Chinese and Egyptian Writing " is an wtempt to throw some sort of light on a puzzling and complex theme. Antiquaries and philologists will read it with attention, but the generality, we suspect, will be apt to pass it by with indifference. In the notice of Grimn.'s " German Mythology" there are many curious anecdotes illustrative of sorcery and witchcraft, which, the la'te r especially, were scarcely two centuries since the bug-bears of our sapient ancestors. The review of Chateaubriand's last publication, entitled the " Congress of Verona" does justice to the merits of an entertaining, but assuredly a most conceited and egotistical work, whose author evidentiy imagines that he is the profoundest statesman of his age. Chateaubriand was for a long time the rival of Can ning ; but being generally foiled by him in his political manoeuvres, bore him no great good will, though to the last moment of the English Premier's existence, his rival of France expressed for him the warmest friendship. Wo subjoin an anecdote respecting the former, as we do not happen to have met with it before :—" When Canning was at Christchurch, it was on some public occasion his duty to pronounce an oration in praise of the founder and benefac tors of the College or University. By appointment or choice, his hero was Daniel Finch, Earl of Nottingham. Our recollection of this youthful composition enables us to pronounce it full of all the merits which afterwards charac terized his speeches ; and it was in one sense a panegyrics upon the memory of the pious founder, becaused it proved in forcible terms that the profligacy of Nottingham was :lot quite so eminent as that of Sunderland, and of other s'eates men of his lime, whose respective demerits were marked by epithets appropriate and severe. The big-wigs were shocked and offended, or pretended to be so; however, young Canning did not lose his studentship." In the article on " Dutch Literature," we find an analysis of th e most successful productions of some of the modern authors of Holland. The land of dykes and fogs —so long conei sidered a Breotia in point of literature, has, it seems, pro duced within the last few years more than one poet who is really entitled that honourable appellation. The most popular of the tuneful fraternity is a Dutch merchant, by name Van der Hoop, who has recently penned a tragedy, written in Alexandrine couplets ! The Reviewer does not favour U 3 with specimens, but we take for granted it must be a curiosity. " French Naval Romances" gives soma judicious criticisms of Marryat and Cooper, and then enters into particulars respecting a naval novel, written by M. Eugene Sue, a popular French author, who, judging from the extracts here made from his work, deserves all his po pularity. The remaining articles in the Number aro of a very ordinary character. Yesterday Lord Brougham laid the foundation stone of a school at Chase-side, Enfield, upon the British and Foreign system. At four o'clock his Lordship arrived at the spot, and was greeted with the cheers of between 600 and 700 persons, who were present to view the ceremony. The proceedings of the day were opened by a prayer from the Rev, S A. Davies, when, the usual coins and an inscription having been deposited, a stone, weighing four hundred weight, was lowered to the spot, and neatly cemented by his Lordship. The whose having been completed, Lord Brougham addressed the assembly, expa tiating on the advantages of an early education, and urging upon parents and heads of families the necessity for supporting institutions having for their object the enlightenment of the human race. At the conclu sion of the proceedings Lord Brougham, accompanied by about 60 of the most influential gentlemen, sat down to an excellent dinner, which had been provided at the King's Head Assembly Rooms, Enfield town, over which his Lordship presided, CORONATION HA T.—We have been informed that Carl King, the celebrated ladies hat.maker, has in preparation and nearly finished, a hat made of remarkably fine Tuscan braid, of which article he is the only proprietor, to be sent as a present to England's youthful Queen. We take pleasure in noticing the enterprise of Mr, King; it will prove to the Londoners that we are not idle in improving that important article of female attire. It is to be sent by the Great Western on her next trip, and will be for a few days, at each of Mr. King's stores, for the inspection of the public.--New York Sunday News of June 10. THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER. —There was some times a graceful gallantry in his manner, while in Paris, which ingra tiated him in the favour of the fair sex. When visiting a lunatic hos pital he asked one of the female patients whether there were many women in the establishment who had gone mad for love. "We have very few yet," replied the lunatic, "but it is to be feared that their numbers will be greatly augmented by your Majesty's visit to Paris." One of Napoleon's grand dignitaries said to the Czar, " Your arrival, Sire, has been long and anxiously wished for here."---" I should have come sooner," replied Alexander, " had not French valour prevented me." It is cer tain that, when he crossed the Rhine, he regretted that he could not retire in peace to the bosom of his family.—Chateaubriand's Memoirs of His Otos Time. T.
